Training should be a positive and rewarding situation for both you and the Affenpinscher. If you’re not in the best mood for training, don’t even think of starting. Always commend your Affenpinscher for listening to your orders promptly! A prize is anything that your Affenpinscher wants and is happy to earn. Edible treats are the expected prize but different prizes could be verbalized commendation and playthings. Multiple shorter training sessions are demonstrated to be more effective than a single long one. Training mustn’t involve any degrading components or consequences. There should be no shouting, no smacking or hitting, no chain jerking on choke leashes or collars, and absolutely no electricity! Each training opportunity needs to be enjoyable and reinforcing with treats for jobs well done.
